Congratulations to
those of you who found the source of the quote included in the last
newsletter …. It’s good to know that you read the newsletter right to
the end!
Wanted… for our new website!Remember
contributing the name of a book you enjoyed to the librarian’s reads
for summer last Christmas? Well now you can go the next step and
contribute a review of a book you have enjoyed to our new website. Just
write a brief review and email it to Kim. How easy is that?! kims@shorelibraries.govt.nz.
She will compile these so the new website can be launched with some
great reading suggestions from us. Can’t wait to see what you guys are
reading out there!
Tip of the week….
“Opt
in” to your Reading History in “My Info” and review the list
occasionally. This quick easy technique jogs our memory of the wonderful
titles we’ve read. You’ll be surprised how much this can help you make a
reading suggestion to a fellow reader.
Food for thought….“[The
reading experience] is about public service, about meeting readers
where they are and helping them find something they will enjoy…
libraries have become many things to our patrons, but one of the
mainstays is the civility with which our patrons are treated. Their
questions, no matter what they are, are considered important. When their
questions and their reading tastes are valued, our patrons feel valued
too.” Joyce Saricks Booklist July 08.

Welcome to Candy Covered Books!
From
Chick Lit Book Reviews to those of Women's Fiction, we are determined
to make choosing your next book a breeze. We gather reviews from a wide
variety of sources and average them into a single rating so you don't
waste valuable time reading anything less than fabulous. After all, you
shouldn't judge a book by its cover……
So true…?
“No two persons ever read the same book”
